Traveler Check Day
Last bet was yesterday. We had a maintainence guy fixing one of our doors in the lunch room and he placed a big cardboard sign saying 'use other door' while he was working on the main one. Sure enough, people can't read signs and 2 people
tried opening the door while he was working.
I do trips online.
Pizza is always a good quick-fix.
